Experiential Learning in Business Analytics

Catalog description

This course provides an opportunity for students to apply business analytics techniques to realworld data sets, usually sourced from public platforms like Kaggle, but real industry projects are also permissible. About three datasets will be identified by the instructor before the class starts and potentially two teams will go after each dataset/problem of practice. The focus is on solving complex business problems in marketing, operations and other business areas through substantial group projects. Students will work in teams of 3-4 to develop, implement, and present data-driven solutions. The course will emphasize collaboration, practical application of analytical tools, and the communication of results to a non-technical audience.
